Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor’s self-identified status as a 'living peril to the universe' (forced exile to Titan Three) drives his initial reluctance to revive Hugo Lang, framing his reluctance as a direct continuation of his post-regeneration self-perception as a threat."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection carries Peri's evolving role as the Doctor's moral anchor. His violent outburst and exile in Episode 23 create the emotional backdrop for his resistance to reviving Lang in Episode 24. Peri’s intervention—persuading him to show compassion—highlights her continuity as the stabilizing force constraining his self-destructive impulses.
